The group tries to play in a variety of ways, but moderatly, so as not to violate the lead harshness of the sound. Apart from the individual riffs with shitty \"oriental\" notes, it turns out well. HALTER can both compose and perform, and their bassist is so confident that time after time he becomes a leading musician of the band.

The press release painted a really fabulous picture - here you have both the influence of SACRILEGIUM and the best traditions of TTF. Insolent, outrageos lies. Comparing <strong>this<\/strong> to SACRILEGIUM is like saying that tricycle is a steed. SZARY WILK just play fancy sugar riffs in a deliberately crap sound with digital noises, occasionally sprinkling them with acoustics that supposedly should be reminiscent of the old days. But the album not only has nothing in common with Old Poland, it is not necessary to listen to it even today. A few successful melodic solutions hardly deserve your attention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 688px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1931427160\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/package=678025276\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/szarywilk.bandcamp.com\/album\/wrath\">Wrath by SZARY WILK<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>BAXAXAXA \u2013 Devoted to HIM<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year of release:<\/span>\u00a02020<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/ironbonehead.de\/\">Iron Bonehead Productions<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">\u041e\u0446\u0435\u043d\u043a\u0430<\/span>: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">8\u00a0\/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>An example for the above-described Poles, how to do it in the old way and in the right way.

What can I say - not all of Sami Lauri's releases are equally useful, but all are edible. At first, \u201cLaulu kuolemasta\u201d tries to pretend to be DARKTHRONE, but quickly discards this venture and embarks on an otherworldly melody that works in favor of the album both sonically and aesthetically. The recording here is definitely not for everyone, and in an aggressive sound format, it works at random. In the melodic sections, everything changes, and the group presents its vision of the theme of death in a very interesting way. Overall, the album left me with mixed impressions, from irritation to delight. However, it definitely deserves attention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 853px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3410595807\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/package=1674399747\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forgjord-finland.bandcamp.com\/album\/laulu-kuolemasta\">Laulu kuolemasta by F\u00f6rgjord<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>STYGIAN TEMPLE \u2013 In the Sign of the Five Angles<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Year of release:<\/span> 2016<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">Label:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesinisterflame.com\/\">The Sinister Flame<\/a> (this release)<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #008080;\">\u041e\u0446\u0435\u043d\u043a\u0430<\/span>: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">7 \/ 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Canonical Black Metal in the vein of Sweden: with evil tremolo, high intensity, Latin spells and devilish fanaticism.
